Just got a new computer and upgraded to 2013 due to a BSOD on my old computer. The rest of the team is still on Office 2010. I have discovered that I can't use (refresh) any v2010 PowerPivot file without upgrading to PowerPivot 2013, then the file cannot be used on any 2010 computer. So if anyone here uses PowerPivot to access large data sets, be advised you need to make copies of all your PowerPivot files in v 2010, save those to a folder somewhere in case other users need a 2010 version.

Thanks. I had a similar issue at an old job where I got upgraded to a newer version. All of my formatting would disappear if someone else opened my file in an older version. Really messed up my bimonthly billing files as we used color coding to represent different things. My boss opened it one night to review before I submit it and lost about a day and a half of work because it didn't save the formatting.

We've ran into some other weird stuff with the new versions of Office. I have to keep the older version for now because of an add-in I use to access GL data and the software company hasn't put out a new version for the new office yet. Sucks when people that need a file I work on but can't open it because excel reads the references wrong from the data pulls we have in place.
